#43 JBL Tune 770NC: $129.95 Wireless Amazon $129.95 eBay
Pros: A wireless ANC headphone with long battery life, 70 hours or 44 with ANC on, measured by two reviewers with a preference score of 88. Bass through presence stays within about 0.6 dB of target, and it weighs a light 232 g.
Cons: Sub bass and upper bass sit about 2 dB low, so it has less weight than most consumer headphones, and treble has dips near 5.1 and 9.7 kHz. It supports only SBC, and the JBL Tune 760NC scores higher.

Frequency Response
How the JBL Tune 770NC measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the average of 2 independent measurements, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: the average of 2 independent measurements from the squig.link databases of filk and kuulokenurkka. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
